indirect bilirubin cannot be measured in the urine.
Indirect bilirubin is in the form of unconjugated bilirubin which is insoluble to water and it is non polar in nature, another is that bilirubin is binded to albumin, which result to high molecular weight that's the reason why it cannot pass to the glomeruli for the glomeruli can only pass through molecules having lower molecular weights.
